Recesssion Virus - Job loss how to move ahead
Currently the economy is as bad as I can remember in my lifetime and that dates back fairly far. People are losing their jobs on a daily basis, and although things may seem bad, there is always hope.
In india no employment data gets published, hence not able to judge the unemployment levels, but seems it moving with alarming pace. Just thru with the fresh elections and positive sentiments nothing much has moved. Every one is looking at the govt, the stimulus package, the budget. All this is going to take good amount of time.The job market is deteriorating just as a generation of workers is looking to move up a rung."
People in midcareer are getting jobs now, though they really have to work harder at it. In many cases they are changing careers or industries to do it.
There's some advice on job hunting. First you should approach it like your life depends on it. Second, follow the market where the money is. Even in a bad job market, some industries and professions are struggling to attract enough talent. You may have to take the skills you learned in a shrinking industry, like utilities, and bring it to a growing one, like human resources. Or you may want to use the current downturn to retrain so you're poised for one of the most popular jobs.
jobseekers should put more time into researching and targeting specific companies and jobs, even if they're not advertising any openings. Put at least 5 hours a week into it if you have a job; 40 or more if you don't. Call everyone you know who might be connected to your target and request informational interviews and call back about every 6 weeks."
Don't forget to keep that resume updated. In today's world resumes have a new world approach. One should customize the resume to the job you are interviewing for. Update that resume with accomplishments and make sure they are highlighted with action words.
There is no question the job market is slim pickings right now, but with enough hard work, willingness to change and strong desire, you should land your new position in no time.
Keep "positive Attitude" is the word to deal with Job loss.. keep yourself occupied else would be a really make u sick.
